• Keep a bag of frozen blueberries in your freezer at all times. They are great for mixing into yogurt, pancakes, muffins breads and smoothies.

• Let frozen blueberries defrost and enjoy them solo, or as a healthy topping on frozen yogurt.

• When buying blueberry juice (or any other juice) at the grocery store, make sure that it is 100% juice. Most juice varieties add sugar, so check the label, which can usually be found right above the nutritional facts. When you see “cocktail” in the name, chances are good it’s NOT 100% of the juice you’re looking for.

• Even if a juice doesn’t have added sugar, the calories are usually high. To reduce your caloric intake from the consumption of juice, mix one-half 100% fruit juice with one-half seltzer water for a delightfully sparkling fruit juice beverage.
